The failure to invest in public housing has led to the loss of nearly 10,000 housing units per year in recent decades. The result is families struggling with homelessness. We must support investing in affordable housing: invisiblepeople.tv/safe-stable-ho…

Housing Action's Bob Palmer talks w/@CapitolNewsIL about the uncertain eviction landscape in IL. If @GovPritzker extends our moratorium until 10/3 to match the federal one, it will give time for more renters to access emergency $ and for a court-based protection program to start.

It's unclear what the next steps are for the state when it comes to an eviction moratorium, but courts are preparing for a larger role if a Sept. 1 expiration happens as scheduled. My story on the state of evictions in Illinois:



America’s Housing Crisis Is a Choice nytimes.com/2021/08/10/opi… This is an interesting non-homeless view of our housing crisis. No matter the viewpoint, there is no affordable housing.

Working Together is Always the Answer. More People, More Energy, More Ideas and Solutions.

Partnerships between federally-funded agencies are a newer approach, but they are a proven success when addressing homelessness. endhomelessness.org/ehvs-and-beyon…

Every state needs to pass these prohibitions against sit/lie local ordinances along with a massive expansion of affordable housing to pressure the local communities to actually work to end homelessness and not resort to law enforcement moving pple around. kgw.com/article/news/l…
